10 SIMPLE RAINY SEASON ACTIVITIES FOR KIDS 




I`m in love with rains since childhood, I miss the crock crock of the frogs which we use to hear all night (I no more hear or see any). But times have changed and kids have to stay indoor most of the times during rainy season. This can be very boring. So here I bring 9 super easy activities to keep your child happy and busy this rainy season.

·                     SPLASH IT– When did you last got out to enjoy the rain? Kids are not electronic robots to be worried of playing in rain all the time (though now robots are also waterproof). Take out the umbrellas and rain coats, go out get wet, hop and play with your little one. Enjoy the 5D beauty of nature for free.

·                     WATERY CRAFTY – Try out some cool watery craft, take out those water colors, brushes, colored chalks and go creative  with- water color painting ,drawing with chalk on wet floor, balloon painting, finger painting, tie-dye are some options you can explore.

Apart from the regular storytelling, try out some twist like making a story on imaginary situation, completing the story, new ending for a classical fairy tale, try adding rain scene to any story etc.

·                     GO CAMPING –indoor camping is fun. Don’t worry if you don’t have a proper tent, put your creativity to work using an umbrella, bed sheet, cushions and torch. And see your kids enjoying as if in a real camp.

·                     BOARD GAMES  – Most of us pretend to love them, but they are lying in our cupboard. Take out that Ludo, carom board, chess, bingo, junga blocks, believe me you’ll have a great family time with them.

·                     MOVIE TIME - Put on some all time favourite movies for kids like- Ratatouille, Stuart little, Home alone. Pop some corns and let the kids enjoy the matinee time.

·                     CHAI PAKORA PARTY Rainy season can never be complete without the yummy veg pakoras with ginger tea. So let your kids enjoy the rains relishing all time favourite chai-pakora, in your balcony.

·                     TELE GET- TOGETHER – Today kids life has become so busy that they have no time to know about even their closest relatives. Why not use this indoor time to have a family chat with your relatives, elders and let the child talk to them.
